Abstract:

Modern warfare is evolving toward “informationization, unmanned operation, multi-domain integration and intelligence.” As a decisive element of precision-strike and high-efficiency firepower systems, intelligent ammunitions have become a key factor in seizing battlefield initiative and ensuring victory. The structural subsystem constitutes the backbone of intelligent ammunitions and the fundamental carrier for lightweight, high-efficiency design. Focusing on a three-tier intelligent architecture of “individual-swarm-system-of-systems,” this paper dissects the latest advances at home and abroad in such critical technologies as lightweight anti-high-overload structures, integrated thermal-protection/load-bearing structures, active control via smart materials, low-cost modularity, and highly reliable dynamic dispensing. Development trends of relevant technologies are reviewed and future directions for key structural technologies of intelligent ammunitions are envisioned, so as to underpin the successful employment of intelligent ammunitions in future cross-domain joint operations and large-scale, cross-platform combat.
